I am a bit surprised of teh sentence but not the team, Cross Keys have gotten a reputation of a bunch of thugs over the last few seasons and this is backed up by the num,ber of

As such an avid supporter of Premiership rugby shouldn't you actually be more aware of the fact that the majority of yellow cards are more due to the case of professional fouls and not thuggish behaviour. As a CrossKeys supporter I would categorically deny that over the last couple of years our players have gotten a reputation for thuggish behaviour.
In the case of Rhys Peebles is it absolutely disgusting that he has been handed a 12-month sentence for punching an opposite player whilst on a rugby pitch. I do not condone violence on the pitch in any sport but emotions do run high and all players in all sport should be fully aware that these things do happen and there can be injuries whether it involves wounds and stitches or breaking of bones.
What the majority of people commenting on this matter seem to be forgetting is that the "victim" in this case was also involved in the 30-man brawl and was willing to punch anyone in front of him. He was unlucky to have been punched but at the end of the day was also in a position to have caused the same injury to an opposing player. The player in question made an exaggeration of his injury and the effect it would have on his rugby career and yet he has been back playing for a while having suffered absolutely no long-term damage."
